  • DJMRT
    DJ MRT (@DJMRT) reported from Sutton, England

    It would appear that despite 3 emails to @virginmedia regarding their lack of service, their rubbish broadband and the fact my TV hasn’t worked since November - they have instead chosen to engage debt collectors for a £141.54 (for ONE MONTH) bill. See you in court then I guess.

  • aaronuart
    R. Aaron (@aaronuart) reported from Merton, England

    @virginmedia I rebooted, called the number, it says there is a known issue in my area and engineers are working on it. Does this take 5 days to fix? I try the status online and it tells me everything is fine but it isn’t. Is there anyone looking at this. I’ve never had an issue last this long

    @virginmedia You're internet is down *again* in sw9 and your internet service checker page does not work on mobile phones

    This is what I get for being a customer for over 8 continuous years and then 5 years before that. This is awful customer service by Virgin media. #Virginmedia @virginmedia

    Nick Tippett (@nicktippett) reported from Croydon, England

    @virginmedia Pre install was yesterday with technician linking my house to virgin and ever since I've had no Internet from my current provider. spoke with pre install last night, and today, total of 4 handlers then cust. Service with no resolution and nobody wanting to deal with it now!

    Chris 🏳️‍🌈🇪🇺 (@strutcakes) reported from Lambeth, England

    Called Virgin Media to complain about the TV box not working and to get it removed from my package. Somehow ended up singing another 18 month contract with the TV box included but at a reduced price. Not ideal but not horrendous.

  • Champs707007
    Stephen Champion (@Champs707007) reported from Wandsworth, England

    @virginmedia It’s been erratic all day on both connections and your service check says no issues identified. One minute it’s doing 40-60mbps then it’s just plain dead but shows a connection

  • imbranzo
    Mamba 〽️🦋 (@imbranzo) reported from Bromley, England

    holy **** @virginmedia fix up mannnn how you disconnecting when I’m in a ranked match on @PlayOverwatch ???

  • befitat50
    Befitat50 (@befitat50) reported from Camberwell, England

    @virginmedia Guys it seems to me @virginmedia is the only one that has problems? My neighbour who uses “talk talk” has never ever had a problem.. I am tired of @virginmedia excuses and I will leave, had enough of it thou..

  • declan1968
    Declan Higgins ☘ (@declan1968) reported from Southwark, England

    @virginmedia Oh yeah. Nothing that explains why it keeps happening though. Fix dates are usually meaningless. Feels like we're being rationed.

  • wowbaggerish
    (An)TonyM 🇺🇦 (@wowbaggerish) reported from Epsom and Ewell District, England

    @virginmedia @gosportjack75 Yes. Please ensure you do. It's appalling customer service.

  • Phil_Swallow
    Philip 🦅 (@Phil_Swallow) reported from Croydon, England

    @redheadlass1402 @virginmedia We’ve got the business service but it’s no better. They don’t seem to have any proactive monitoring or fault prevention and pretty much don’t care. They have a 3 hour service level that passed 12 hours ago, totally useless bunch of money-grabbers

  • Phil_Swallow
    Philip 🦅 (@Phil_Swallow) reported from Croydon, England

    There’s a new Hitron Chita paperweight from @vmbusiness @vmbusinesshelp - it’s expensive but the only thing it can do without going out of service every few minutes

  • Phil_Swallow
    Philip 🦅 (@Phil_Swallow) reported from Croydon, England

    @vmbusiness outage estimated fix date is 20/09. What planet are you lot on?

  • RPLibDems
    Raynes Park Lib Dems (@RPLibDems) reported from Merton, England

    @virginmedia @RichMeader Could the web page be updated with the fix date please so people can plan accordingly?

  • Champion3Claire
    Claire Champion (@Champion3Claire) reported from Bromley, England

    @virginmedia An explanation of the problem and what is being done would be a good start for customer service. Right now that’s sadly lacking. I hope there will be a £ reduction in the bill for the lack of service??

  • aaronuart
    R. Aaron (@aaronuart) reported from Merton, England

    @virginmedia Sometimes the page loads and others not, but when it did it said that there’s a known issue. It has been 4 days now without proper internet?!

  • ninepine
    Mike Fuller (@ninepine) reported from Banstead, England

    @virginmedia Callback should have happened days ago. Now the person on 150 says that you failed to complete a process. They then tried to miss-sell me an upgrade to my package. Still not fixed but "should be" in a few hours! I doubt it. Abysmal deceptive service.

    @virginmedia @massrossini1 System was restored this AM then stopped again at 4pm cannot do no work at all and customer service lines busy

    @virginmedia any updates on loss of service in my area. As im classed as vunberbul customer amd its been down sence like 3pm yesterday and im pissed off as always happens all the time with Virgin Media !!!

  • DWRICHARDS
    David Richards (@DWRICHARDS) reported

    @virginmedia Thanks so much. Who should I ask for?! Current promise via Chat is a chq within 30 days. The problem with contacting Virgin Media by phone or online when you are a former customer chasing a refund is that it is difficult to get past your security checking if it's an old a/c.

  • entrustTMF
    entrustTMF (@entrustTMF) reported

    @RogerGreen2009 @virginmedia I'm definitely going to be reviewing my options at the end of my current @virginmedia contract as they've been dreadful in terms of communication and help when the chips are down(day SEVEN of outage)😢 Sadly, I've only just renewed my contract... Thanks for the suggestions👍

  • BryMillan
    Bryan Millan (@BryMillan) reported

    Every Wednesday without fail from about 8:30pm we have an intermittent signal issue with @virginmedia, we pay enough not to have these issues every week. Get it sorted!

  • The_Broski_Boot
    AJ (@The_Broski_Boot) reported

    @virginmedia we are now over 12 hours into this issue without any meaningful update Under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, services must be provided with reasonable care and skill. A prolonged outage without resolution or communication may breach this. Can you please update

  • casilda1
    Casilda Malagon (@casilda1) reported

    @virginmedia I fear this is terrible customer service. I’m switching providers as soon as possible and will be advising by network to do the same.

  • deanspread
    Deano (@deanspread) reported

    @virginmedia Well I’m at work now but it was working then going off for a couple minutes then back on all day. Then about 9pm went off for 20 mins then back on. Went on your page to check the service and it was saying nothing was wrong.

    @virginmedia Great to hear a you problem in my area cant be fixed until at LEAST tomorrow afternoon. No TV, no WiFi and not even a land line phone. Thank the @EE gods for my mobile data🙏🏻 Not so good for my 80 year old parents now🙄

  • Demon__Cyborg
    toastyborg (@Demon__Cyborg) reported

    @virginmedia absolutely sucks. They won’t even help me unlock my email and I’ve apparently been blacklisted for not doing anything???
